" Given two. weeks to respond to a commission inquiry asking if aay commodities were to be ex cepted, the lines placed their re-" ply before the commission in less than fire days. They hare urged ; that speed he one of the first con- ' siderationa In the commission's disposal of their petition for the : Increase. The response ,of the roads was . . embodied In a resolution adopted yesterday in Chicago. Contem plating no exceptions, it left the -way open for. deviations after the increase had been approved. Adjustment Said Always Necessary "Experience . has shown," it said, "that where any general change In the entire rate, struc ture of the country is aathorlred and becomes effective, it has sub- $ sequently been ' found to be nee- . essary to make changes and re adjustments, in some Instances reductions to meet competition ' and other situations.". -The original petition claiming the railroads face an emergency in their financial situation was filed June 17. The only step remaining to ful fill the order is for the individual lines to enter written appear . ances. ' - Today's communication advised the commission that, in addition to all steam railroads, all water lines participating in rail and-water rates had agreed to the proceeding1 and that all interna- tional rates are prbposed to be larreased. It is regarded as like ly that final decision would not come before late in tn zau at me earliest. TOWN CELEBRATES MUG'S SUCCESS Flo Speeches or Parades at . Liberty; Populace Just Raises big Whoopee, LIBERTY, N. "Y., June 25 (AP) Otto HilliS. Liberty's gen ial photographer, flew the Atlan tic and thereby tickled the home folk into ecstacies. - Some towns, such as St. Louis and New York, put on speeches and parades and throw shreds of telephone directories out of sky scraper - windows to celebrate trans-Atlantic flights, but Liberty jast celebrated. . ' . Its citiaens some 3.009 of them poured into the street and milled around la front of Otto's photographer's shop when the clang and screech of bells and whistles told them h had landed safely somewhere, on the other side of the broad and hostile north Atlantic. They slapped one an other n the back, and cheered Otto and his young Danish pilot, Holgar Hoiriis and said, one to the other: "Sure, Otto could do it, I knew ; he could." Outcome in Doubt Early Thursday There were a few hours this morning when they were not so sure. They had been up all night, la restaurants, la the Elks club and at Otto's shop. Their hopes ran high when the sua looked down over the eastern rinv of the surrounding Catskills this morning and they were quite con fident for three or four - hours thereafter, knowing that the plane '"Liberty" carried gas sufficient to keep it in theair until the mid morning hours. When noon began to . draw along, the groups on the street corner did not chat so freely. The telephone calls to news sources became more frequent and at last, when no definite word had come la the early afternoon their con fidence had turned to uneasiness bordering on despair. George Klemm. friend of Hillig's had been delegated to keep la tele phonic contact with the Associat ed press at Albany for news of the fliers. The folks ia Otto's place were HOOSIER t.V i.- ' X ' I' , ) BACK TO HIS ALMA MATER.

The first meeting was here yesterday and proved a harmonious one. July 30 is the date of the next meeting. . H. It. VaaDuaer was reelect ed chairman of the commission for the next year, patting to rest certain rumors of drastic changes ia the commission. The motion for I his reelection was made by M. A. Lynch, who was slated to go oat of the commis sion as a result of his resolu tion calling for annual elec tions. -"'!:. But nothing of the sort occur red at the meeting. Ia fact there was no -indication of a change. Besides awarding contracts and listening to a group of county delegations, the commission or dered a readjustment ia the wage and salary schedule looking, to ward a substantial reduction. The meeting lasted all day. Governor Meier attended the session for. a brief moment and invited the three commissioners out for a star chamber meeting. The purpose of the conference was not divulged, but the gov ernor said it was a matter of minor importance. The same three commissioners returned to the seesion room after HtO minutes. ! Commissioner Charles K. Spaul dlng suggested there were too many watchmen at the machine shops in Salem, and also sug gested there i be a trimming in wages there. Hd further doubted the advisability of the shops at Coqullle and the efficiency ofth eastern Oregon shops. He stated he based his opinion on the Dieck report. j Governor Meier remained in Salem last night and expected to break his rule of being ia Portland on Fridays in order to welcome the state editors hero in person today. He had intend- ' ed to leave at noon yesterday, he announced. The editorial : convention opens today. With all state editors here to day and tomorrow, the center of Journalistic interest will be fo- slttlng with their chins in their hands, thinking the situation ov er,, when the telephone rang along about half past one. "They are reported to have landed near Krefeld, -Germany, safely and wlththe plana undam aged," Klemm heard. "Oh boy." said Klemm, "that's good news." He called word out the window to tha waiting crowd and turned back to tha telephone to say: "You never saw such a scene; the peopleare running around like everything. Abe they happy? Yon bet they are!'

(AP) Demands tor a re-examination of tho tana board's stabil ization . wheat sales policy today gained aew force. Representative Andresen, re publican, Minnesota, suggested a round labia . conference . attended by President Hoover, agricnlturo Secretary Hyde and Chairman Stone of tha farm board to deter mine exactly what is to bo dona with tha more than 200,000,000 bushels of wheat bought to steady domestic markets. Tho view is held in soma ad ministration quarters that whoa Stone returns from his western trip, tho board is likely to study tha question of policy again. Nevertheless, these sama quar ters believe tha board's announ ced intention of handling the sta bilization supply, "in such away as to impose tho minimum bur den on domestic and world prices" will not be modified. Want Pledged No Sale in Year Requests -for a definite pledge that tha wheat will not be sold for a year, or nntil prices im prove, have come in increasing numbers. Mr. Hoover Is known to bo keenly interested. Kansas grain men were told last week after a request for a definite pledge had been mada, that the board would stand on its previous statement, made March 23. Representatives of tha grain trade who met with Stona hero in May, also wero given the same answer. The board is said to feel that it wants to be free to take advan tage of any favorable situation ia tho world trade. Stone has said wheat would be sold abroad if, a market is found and if it does not adversely affect prices. A large number of letters hava been received at tha board sup porting its position.
